Yeah, I made another Doctor Who video, this time going back just 3 years instead of 50.

I had a popular Doctor Who Youtube video, so time to try again, continuing my look at the companions of The Doctor, this time, the Third.

If I'm going to be talking about Doctor Who, I figured I should discuss how I started with the show, back nearly 50 years ago. Things were very different for American Whovians in the '70s & 80s from Brits or anyone going back to the old show now.

Dracula: A Love Tale
I jumped ahead in my Adapting Dracula series to get to the latest version, one that leans hard on the romance, and also on an earlier adaptation. Does it work?

My mind is still on Doctor Who, so I made a new video.

Been feeling Doctor Who-ish. So made a video discussing Davros stories.

Another video from MEEEEE! I'm continuing my look at the adaptations of the novel Dracula and I've reached Hammer Horror's take on the material. There's a whole lot of adapting in this adaptation.

@arohi_d04 Stop trusting in Grok. This is not from "The Outlaw" and it is clearly not Jane Russell. This is "Phantom Lady" (1944)

Doctor Who for New Year's.
I did a ranking of Christmas episodes, so it seems only fair to do one for the New Year's ones.

One more Christmas video for the season. I did the top 1930s Christmas films last time, so here are my 7 top 1940s Christmas films.

“As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.”

@spankybackpack Both the happiest and funniest the show has ever been. We all cheered back in the early '80s. Everyone was thrilled.

[Matthew M. Foster (more on BlueSky) @MatthewMFoster]

And here's my new video for Christmastime. Great Christmas movies from the 1940s are easy to find, but the 1930s are a bit more complicated. Here's my recommendations, including a few rarely seen.

Ah, Christmas Holiday, as dark a Christmas movie as you're likely to find. It's also fantastic. Youtube banned my review from most of the world, so this is a re-upload to satisfy the Youtube gods.

Continuing with my videos on the adaptations of Dracula, it's Dracula in Istanbul, a Turkish film that is far more faithful to the novel than most of the other adaptations, which is very odd...

@TheExtremeMusi1 It must have Grace Slick.
Benatar and Jett are a little later in history, so Slick would take one of their places. Slick and Joplin are absolute musts. The other slots are flexible.

[Matthew M. Foster (more on BlueSky) @MatthewMFoster]

@HollywoodYeste1 Some Like It Hot (1959)
Mister Roberts (1955)
The China Syndrome (1979)
And then can't decide between Bell Book and Candle (1958) and The Great Race (1965)
